KDE is the only desktop that manages floating windows and tiling in one. Tiling WMs are tiling-first, gnome and crew is floating only, KDE is both.

But that’s not the only thing that KDE does that’s revolutionary and hard to find. I’ve written a whole blog on this, but to say a little here:

- full panel and widget customization with alternatives. Some panel designs are very space efficient and high-information, which you can’t find on Gnome, Windows or MacOS

- krunner, which lets you search everything all at once. Granted Apple has spotlight, but krunner is very good.

- activities, which is like virtual desktops on steroids. You can have completely different desktop configurations if you want, and switch between them.
